Many gaming geeks have voiced their outrage over Mass Effect 3’s conclusion via Internet forums, and this ‘Mass Effect 3: Best Worst Ending’ video captures the spirit of the inane suggestions fans have tossed out into cyberspace. As you can imagine, hyperbolic hilarity ensues when some of YouTube’s most talented animators band together to animate those alternate finales to the epic BioWare series.
‘Mass Effect 3: Best Worst Ending’ was made by Arin “Egoraptor” Hanson, Rodrigo “El-Cid” Huerta, Hans Van Harken, Ross “RubberNinja” O’ Donovan and Christina “Jaxxy” Harrow (with voices by Josh “Tomamoto” Tomar). The group collaborated on the video which simultaneously showcases each artist’s distinct animation style while pointing out that most suggested conclusions are equally as unsatisfactory as the official one released by the game makers. It’s satire at its best.
